Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement
The Canadian
Code for Volunteer Involvement provides voluntary, non-profit,
and not-for-profit organizations with a philosophical framework
for involving volunteers at the governance, leadership and direct
service levels. The Code outlines the values, principles and standards
for effective volunteer practices within organizations. It also
includes the Organization Standards Checklist, which will assist
organizations to evaluate and improve their volunteer programs.
What you can do:
1. Get a copy of the Canadian
Code for Volunteer Involvement.
2. Introduce the Code to the volunteers, staff, management and
the Board of Directors of your organization.
3. Ensure the practices of your volunteer program follow the Code.
4. Challenge your Board to officially adopt the Code by passing
a motion.
